Hello and welcome back! In this, our first upload of 2026, we jump in with fervor and delight. We’re talking all about the uncanny valley: that feeling humans experience when encountering something with human-like features that is most definitely not human. Though the term was coined in the late 1970’s in relation to the advancement of robotics technology, science and philosophy suggest that this feeling has existed nearly universally, potentially for thousands of years. But why? What did our ancestors encounter that taught them to fear something almost human? Let’s chat about it. This one’s a doozy!

Hello and welcome back! In today’s Patreon exclusive episode, we tell the story of The Great Amherst Mystery. In Amherst, Nova Scotia in 1878, 18-year-old Esther Cox began experiencing some very strange phenomena. After a horribly traumatic experience, Esther began being plagued by highly mayhem. From terrifying medical crises to objects flying around the room to loud booming noises shaking the home she shared with several family members, her experience was excruciating to put it lightly. But once the phenomena begun manifesting in fires around the home, Esther and her family became desperate for answers. So what was the source of The Great Amherst Mystery? Was it an elaborate hoax? Or was Esther Cox simply the central character of legitimate and chilling poltergeist activity? Hang on, friends.

Hello and welcome back! We’re kicking off spooky season with a real doozy! In Summit County, Ohio the remains of what was once a thriving community lay silent for decades. The town of Boston, Ohio- nicknamed Helltown- was originally purchased by the US government as part of a would-be National Park and all residents were forced to leave. But progress on demolishing the ghost town was slow going. And over the decades, the town has gained a dark reputation. Cult sacrifice, government coverups, the Road at the End of the World, and more legends have surfaced. But is there any truth to the legends? Hang on, friends. This one’s a doozy!

Within a day of his arrival, Gary would receive the first of 4 bizarre phone calls from an unknown entity who ominously informed Gary that “you’re being impersonated by the other voice.” What was the true nature of these calls?

Hello and welcome back! In today’s story, we do a deep dive into a very mysterious figure in Spanish and Latin American folklore: El Duende! For centuries, this gnome-like creature has existed in folklore across the western hemisphere and beyond and in the last century or so, there have been countless reports of eyewitness accounts of this creature, begging the question of its real life existence. We’re kicking this off with a listener’s eye witness account of el Duende and do our best to figure out what we believe about the creature. Buckle up, friends.

Hello and welcome back! In this special sneak peek into our Patreon episodes, we hop across the pond to the village of Loxton, Somerset, England in the 1950’s. In the early morning hours of September 1, 1954, the peaceful village near the sea would be flipped on its head when the news broke about a terrible murder. Noreen O’Connor, a 46-year-old nurse and caretaker notorious for her giving and loving demeanor committed a most heinous act against her elderly, bedridden friend, Marie Buls. An act so vile that the area hasn’t seen anything quite like it, before or since. But what would cause a kind, gentle woman to snap and commit the ultimate crime? Noreen insisted that she wasn’t killing Marie, but rather that she was killing the evil inside of her. Hang on for this one.
